[i]This activity raised queries as to the feasible distance a golf ball could be struck. I am informed by a mathematician, also a keen golfer, that assuming a speed off the club of 1200 f.p.s., which is average, and an elevation of 40 degrees, which is usual for a 6 iron, then a distance in the order of 900 yards could be expected. Of course, this is for an average golfer. A Nicklaus could be capable of much further, but Shepard, one handed and restricted by a spacesuit could have managed about 300 yards.[/i]
